CORAM : A. S. CHANDURKAR AND PUSHPA V. GANEDIWALA, JJ. DATE : January 14, 2022 P. C.

Heard.

Rule. Rule made returnable forthwith considering the short issue involved therein.

The petitioner who was in service with Zilla Parishad Amravati initially as Extension Officer (Agriculture) and subsequently promoted as Agriculture Officer was suspended from service on 11/05/2011 as an offence was registered against him. After holding an enquiry, the respondent terminated the services of the petitioner on 11/05/2016. In the departmental proceedings, the penalty of dismissal was converted into an order of compulsory retirement. Being aggrieved the petitioner approached the Industrial Court and filed complaint under Section 28 of the Maharashtra Recognition of Trade Unions and

37-WP-4954-21 2/2 Prevention of Unfair Labour Practices Act, 1971 being Complaint ULP No.160/2018. The interim relief sought by the petitioner came to be refused on 08/08/2019.

The only relief sought by the petitioner in this petition is expeditious disposal of the aforesaid complaint on the ground that his employment with the Zilla Parishad was the only source of income for his family and as a result of his dismissal from service, he is facing financial hardship.

In these facts we permit the petitioner to make such request before the learned Judge of the Industrial Court before whom the complaint is pending. If such application for expeditious disposal of the complaint is made by the petitioner within period of three weeks from today, the Industrial Court shall consider that request within further period of three weeks and pass appropriate order thereon.

With these directions, the writ petition is disposed of. No costs.
